Running Accomplishments:

 I started running last year, my first race was December 2008. It was my first 5k. In the past year I have done 5k's, a 5 miler, 10k, 10 miler and my first half marathon. I started running so I could keep off the weight I had lost (70 pounds). And in running, I have found solace, peace, and friendships.

Short-Term Running Goals:

 My goals for 2010 are:

*2150 total miles

*finish a walking/jogging marathon

*a 2 hour half marathon

Long-Term Running Goals:

  I want to take each year as it comes.

2009 goal was just to run. I did make the goal of 2000 miles. It was my first year running. I will update my total on the 31st of January.

 

Personal:

 This past year has been frought with difficulty, trials, and stress. But it has also been a blessing. I learned what I can do, what my body can do, and how to make myself what I want to be.

My three kids have been a wonderful inspiration, and my husband, not matter how we fuss, fit or fight, is ultimately my best friend.

Not a good day yesterday. Not only were my legs so so so sore from squats and lunges, but our gym went under....closed without warning. I showed up at 5 am and the doors were locked and there was no equipment in the gym. Craptastic. *big crabby face*

On the bright side, my boys did very well at their first 5k race. My oldest, Pat, came in at 26m 36s. His first race and he did very well. I wasn't conserned about his time, but that he finished something he started. And now he is bitten by the running bug and wants to run and go to races. 

Danny did very well too. Dh ran with him as a guide, but said Danny kept out running him. Dh had to yell to Danny to come back cause he was running too fast!  *tee-hee*  Danny's time was 38m 26s. Doesn't matter about their time, I am just so proud of them.  *Happy Face*

Oh and my two oldest start school today. So no more long afternoon runs until the youngest starts pre school on the 28th. Then I will have all day to run run run!  We are going to a new gym on Sunday, cause Saturday I am helping to officiate an ultra marathon...in Hell Michigan!  I will be gone all day working, so Sunday we will be at a new gym! So I'm doing an hour of cardio and weights at home until then. Lucky me!
